In continuing our celebration of Peter Pan this week, we travel today to the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. Two of my favorite Fantasyland details relate to the architecture of Peter Pan's Flight. Tick-Tock the crocodile guards over the attraction's exit, likely on the lookout for any sign of the villainous Captain Hook. Perched above the croc on a nearby rooftop is a weather vane that cleverly takes the shape of Hook's pirate ship.

Of note--Tick-Tock is an unofficial nickname for the character. Official Disney texts simply identify the beast as "the Crocodile."

Welcome!
